BRP EXPANDS ITS BOMBARDIER ATV
OUTLANDER SERIES TO THE 650 H.O. EFI
EMBARGO UNTIL:
November 15, 2005

Valcourt, Québec, November 15, 2005 – Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP)
releases the Outlander™ 650 H.O. EFI, a new Bombardier* ATV aimed at one of the industry’s
fastest growing segments, the 600-700 recreational-utility "rec-ute" class. With its combination
of the most powerful engine in the class and lightweight, sophisticated platform, the Outlander
650 H.O. EFI will set the standard in the booming 600-700cc rec-ute class. The new ATV fits
into the company’s new focus on ATV enthusiasts.
The 650’s engine, the Rotax 650 H.O. EFI, is a smaller displacement version of the 800. In
addition to the most power in the class, the 80-degree V-twin delivers torque with a throaty
sound enthusiasts will love. The advanced electronic fuel injection and engine management
system ensure optimum performance in all conditions at all RPMs – including easy starting in
cold weather or at altitude.
The engine is not the only key component shared with the 800 – in fact, the Outlander 650 is
equipped with all the best and latest BRP technologies that make the Outlander 800 H.O. EFI a
blast to ride and own. Such as the SST frame, TTI rear suspension and Visco Lok† differential,
new double A-arm front suspension, additional front and rear travel, added ground clearance,
steel racks with added capacity, D.E.S.S. security system and multi-function information centre
gauge.
“The new Outlander 650 H.O. EFI is exactly what a Bombardier* ATV is – a powerful,
lightweight, versatile and fully loaded four-wheeler with fun as a standard feature,” said Pierre
Arsenault, Vice President and General Manager Snowmobiles, Watercraft, ATVs and Sport
Boats, BRP. “We are going to continue to expand our line-up with vehicles that do more than
go from point A to point B. We want to make that ride fun and easy – something you look
forward to all week.”

Yep we have been hearing about it for a while now. Thanks for putting up the official release of it tho!! Welcome to the forum! The bomb 4m is the place to hang out if you want more technical jargain than a man can stand in a day and real mature adult conversation. That is till we get guys like Preacher, Pastor, Bishop, whatever his name is and Pud pumper, Goat, deepthroat, errrrr wait i think its boat!! Then you will see the fun begin. WELCOME and please keep us informed of how well you like your Outty!

 

I agree 100%, these guys are the best friends you can have on the web. PERIOD
Chiknhawk

 

when is it coming out?

 

Sometime after the year 2010. They just wanted to get everyone all hyped up. Marketing genious' BRP is.

 

Why does it weight 10 lbs. MORE than the Outty 800????

 

If it's built exactly the same as the 800 and the bore is 650.
Then the 650 might have 150cc's of extra steel/iron on the cylinder.
Since the density of steel is slightly under 8 grams per cc then that would add 1200grams of weight. That's 2.6 pounds.

What about the other 7.4 pounds?

If I could add 7.4 pounds to a 650 I would add it to the bottom ski of the frame.

 

I forgot that the cylinder length is probably around triple the 2.44inch/62mm stroke. That would add another 5.2 pounds or 7.8 pounds total.
When you add in the small increase in material in the cylinder head dome minus the smaller piston weight I think we are around 8 pounds total.

The 800 and 650 might be identical with only a change in cylinder bore. Since they both have the same 46mm throttle bodies the 650's "might" be upgradeable to 800's by boring out the cylinders or resleaving or swapping the top end.

I looked into this with my 330/325. Unless you did this yourself it would probably be cheaper to just by an 800 straight out of the box rather then mess with it IMO. If you cross reference the 330 with the 400 there are more then just a couple of parts that would need replacing, I don't recall all of them exactly but looked like more of a headache/expense then it was worth. FWIW

 

when are they really coming out
